The AATB Processing and Distribution Council's Supply Chain Workgroup would like to inform AATB members about the potential impact of a recent cyber-attack on Stryker, a global medical device and surgical instrument manufacturer. The attack, attributed to an Iran-linked hacktivist group, has caused disruptions to Stryker’s information systems, impacting order processing, production, and shipping operations. While the incident is reportedly contained to Stryker’s internal systems, AATB members are encouraged to assess any potential impact this situation may have on their operations.
